Floyd Mayweather Earns $477K in Weekend Gambling Spree

Floyd Mayweather, after earning at least a $180 million paycheck that some speculate may balloon to $400 million for his boxing match with Manny Pacquiao, just enjoyed a four-day gambling binge that crammed his wallet with another $477,000.

The undefeated champ (48-0) put down $350,000 on three NBA playoff basketball games and one boxing match which rewarded him a cool $827,000 (-$350K = $477K total winnings).

The idea of the world’s highest-paid athlete fighting the undefeated middleweight knockout machine, who (along with Canelo Alvarez) appears as a prospect to take up Mayweather’s title as pay-per-view king once the undefeated welterweight retires, looks like a better idea to fans than to Mayweather’s father. Floyd Sr. told ProBoxingInsider, “No, no, we not fixin’ to fight no damn giant.”
